1. I'd never wish that fate on anyone (even *) -

so I'll take the next best thing, impeachment! :applause:

[SharonRB]

2. Because of this history, I think a lot of us expected (hoped?)

something would happen during his first term. No such luck.

3. The last thing I want for the chimp

is for him to die in office. In no way do I want him to be "Kennedy'd."
He's a martyr for no cause other than the movement to give the 1%ers even more of this country than they already have.

Belated welcome to DU!

4. This ------------>

2000 - G. W. Bush (kills the country while in office)

5. Yeah, but in both 1960 and 1980

a certain familiar name tended to creep up in the discussions about the assassinations...

6. The 20 year curse held true in 1980 AND 2000:

1980: Reagan officially brain-dead (for decades before it was only unofficial).

2000: Democracy in the USA died.

7. It's called Tecumseh's curse

Although I think the curse was actually cast by his brother "The Prophet". When Harrison defeated the Indian movement Tecumseh was a leader of he was cursed . Supposedly Harrison was told that he and whoever is president every twenty years will die in office.
